Generate Scripts CREATE and DROP in Single file - ssms

Is there a way other than using ssms to generate scripts CREATE AND DROP As single file by searching SPs or Functions instead of selecting from the list due to the large number of files and the close names between them?
By using VScode of Visual Studio 2022

How do I script out a full database to a series of creation scripts?

I'm looking for a way to script out an entire SQL Server 2015 database to write table creation scripts, stored procedure scripts, triggers, etc etc to a folder so I can set a baseline for a TFS repository solution. Apart from manually exporting each script one by one, is there a way to do a bulk export?
Obviously I'm not talking about data here, I'm talking strictly about exporting creation SQL file scripts to a folder for a single database.
Please try with SQL Server Management Studio.
To open the Generate and Publish Scripts Wizard. In Object Explorer, expand Databases, right-click a database, point to Tasks, and then click Generate Scripts. Follow the steps in the wizard to script the database objects. On the Choose Objects page, select the objects to be included in the script.

you can generate sql scripts in ssms by following steps:
Right Click on the Database
Go to task and then Click on "Generate Scripts..."
follow the wizard steps to create scripts

Some useful functions of MySQL Workbench for SQL Server management studio

Our project is moving from MySQL to MS SQL and after a long time working with MySQL Workbench I really miss some features in SQL Server Management studio (2014).
Do you know whether they exist in SSMS or there is an alternative/replacement application for SSMS to work with database?
Functions are listed below:
Generate update data script to review and to be able to copy-paste it. Do not update data when I move to another row when the table is opened for editing.
Some changes are still made in database in our project, and sometimes it's easier to add some rows manually in 5 tables, get the script, test it and run the script at production environment. I don't want to write a script for each update and I don't want to make a mistake when copying data to production server using edit table option.
Review update table script BEFORE the changes were made, not after (I am talking about Tools - Options - Designer - Auto generate change scripts).
Upload a file using select file dialog into a binary field.
Again, I know about using OPENROWSET function, just interested how to do it as I used to.
Ability to view large text fields in a convenient way in SSMS. Now I have to copy data from a field and paste it into notepad. (For example, error message with a long trace log)
Save a few tabs with some useful scripts and open all of them when I open SSMS.
Is there any way to organize tabs to be able to work with 10+ tabs more effectively? Now only 6 of them can be shown on the screen (compate it to 15 tabs in MySQL WB).
Simple 'search field' (like Ctrl+F in Excel) to be able to search data in all fields displayed on the screen.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thank you.

How to bulk edit SSIS project with hundreds of rowversion columns

I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 database with an orphaned index, so I'm thinking I need to create a new database and move all the objects over to it.
I've scripted the creation of all the tables and stored procedures, etc, and now I'm to the point to move the data. There are roughly 8000 tables, so I've used the Export Data Wizard to create four SSIS packages (transferring about 2k tables each).
My problem is that many of the tables contain a rowversion column, which causes errors when I open the projects in BIDS. If the problem field has the same name in every table, is there some way that I can do a bulk edit so the project ignores any column with this name? Or am I left with having to manually edit every table with an error in the project? Also, if there's a more efficient way to do this, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance...
I should mention at the start that directly editing your .dtsx file can easily corrupt the SSIS package.
The four SSIS packages should each have a .dtsx file. It is technically feasible to open the .dtsx in a text editor. Maybe this can work?
1) Create a copy of your SSIS packages
2) Using BIDS, open one package and make one change
3) Look at the before and after images of your package
If you are lucky, perhaps a simple find and replace all can solve it. For a text editor, I recommend Sublime Text.

How to create multiple stored procedures from .sql files

I have about 100 stored procedures files that I want to add to a new database that I created. Is there any way I can just drop them in a folder to import them? When I tried that, like how you would with windows explorer, it just opened them all in query windows.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio.
Right now you did not respond to the question in the comments to make your question clearer, but I have these two suggestions
Assuming you already have a database that uses these procedures:
Right click the database in Management Studio and click on Task
Click on Generate Scripts
In the dialog that comes up, click next as you specify the right options
Select the checkbox for "Stored Procedures"
Select All the required stored procedures
Select option to generate script to a new window or file
You are done. Run you script on the other database
If you have access to Visual Studio
Create a new SQL Server Database project
Select the connection string of your new database
Create a stored procedure folder and add all the stored procedure files from your system to it
Right click the project and click Deploy/Publish
Hope you have the tables referenced in the stored procedures

How to run multiple .sql files in Eclipse DTP

I've a list of .sql script files to create Stored Procedures which I'm using the Eclipse DTP to develop. Currently to create/update all these Stored Procedures, I've to open & run
one by one from the Data Perspective.
Is there a way to create a batch file that run the scripts along the lines of
run createSP1.sql
run createSP2.sql
...
run createSPn.sql
and run it in the Eclipse DTP to avail of the DB connection defined there?
why not just create a batch file that merges all of your .sql files together into a single procs.sql file as part of the build process. I don't know what platform you're running on but in Windows you could have a .bat file that does something like this:
type *.sql > proc.sql
then to apply it to the database, why not do it outside Eclipse and connect to the database via the command line. You could bundle this all up as a single batch file that gets the latest version of your stored procedures from source control, merges them into a single file and then applies it to the database.
Part I
As far as I know the developers of Eclipse DTP
have not yet implemented a command line SQL execution
interface through the Eclipse console view.
See the following URL on the eclipse DTP developer forum
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.dtp/msg00304.html
Part II
While the Eclipse DTP people are working on it,
you can use a database specific tool to load
a master SQL file (all SQL proc files
appended together)
There are database specific console
tools that will load your master SQL file
command line.
(ie. SQL*Plus for Oracle, ij for Apache Derby)
Part III
An improvement over DOS batch is using Cygwin bash
or python or perl to merge all of your sql files
together into a master file.
I found that the text processing tools available
in UNIX (awk,sed,cat...) are great for this sort
of thing.
